“Not only did we find a photographer and videographer in our price range, but we
recruited another band and got an even better price!” – Bob, lead singer of Jonnie Chimpo.

           “The way this leverages social networking and               “Just signed up and posted, what a great
           group buying, lets me focus on my art and not               service! This is so much better than Craigslist
           sales!” - Brian, Indie Film Maker                           in so many ways!” - Tritone Mobile Recording
